Competitive price tag
Brilliant display
Excellent battery life
The price. In terms of bang for $200 bucks
This thing can't be beat. It feels so much better than you'd expect for a phone this cheap (and unlocked). The software is recent enough
And should be caught up to Android 4.4 (KitKat) in the very near future

The editors didn't like
Camera is below average
Comes only in 8GB and 16GB variants without SD card slot
Average build
There is no software features on the interface as this is a Google phone. So you have to customise this yourself to make Moto G a real ‘SmartPhone’. The lack of microSD card support
Nonremovable battery & up to 720p video recording capabilities are also
The 3G radio is pretty much a deal-breaker
Especially if you're coming from a 4G device. The camera is incredibly bad. The screen is sharp but bland. The $180 version only has 8GB of storage. The Android OS takes up about 3GB of storage
Leaving you only
Lack of 4G LTE connectivity
No expandable memory
Average camera
Lack of expandable storage
Questionable call quality
Disappointing camera

Lacks microSD card slot
No NFC
Screen prone to fingerprints & smudges
8/16 GB only

Bluetooth 3.0. Old version of Android. Wide bezels
Great value, good specs, impressive screen and long lasting battery.
No 4G connectivity, average camera and no micro SD card slot.
The Motorola Moto G has trumped the Nexus 5 as the best value handset on the market. Not only is it cheap but it's a great all round phone too, with only a few cut corners...

The Moto G has made this reviewer's life so much simpler. Every time someone asks what cheap phone they should buy, from now on there's only one answer....
An absolute bargain at $180 unconnected, Stock Android 4.3 Jelly Bean/Android 4.4 KitKat, Fast, capable processor, 4.5-inch, 720p screen is just about perfect, Excellent battery life
The camera is basic, A choice of 8GB or 16GB of memory, No removable battery, External speaker has to be cranked up to hear, No 4G LTE capability
The Moto G has consistently lived up to every expectation I had of it, and performed like a phone that costs twice its price. It so completely obliterates its natural competition, that anyone wanting an Android smartphone outside of the top echelons, wo...
Fantastic price, lovely design, good performance, vibrant display, good camera and sound, Moto Migrate makes set up easy, 50GB free Google Drive storage, great customising options, Android 4.4
No microSD support, switching between front and rear cameras sluggish, battery good but not 24 hours, no NFC
For the price, the Moto G is a fantastic device. It has a beautiful display with bright, vibrant and detailed images, the sound quality is great and the battery capacity will give you a good 14 hours' use in our experience. We really like the desig...
Great screen, Solid chassis, Lots of covers, Well priced
No microSD slot, No 4G LTE support
Motorola has potentially changed the entry-level smartphone game with the Moto G. This is a well-built handset with a good screen and a capable processor, and it has a no-frills approach to Android along with some nice shells. This budget phone has “winn...

The Moto G is essentially a pretty decent mid-spec phone but it's the budget price that makes it really special. Tech fans will want something a bit more distinctive, but for many (and Motorola is hoping very many), this spec is more than they really ne...
Abstract: Can a £135 phone survive being in your pocket with keys, coins and even a knife (who carries around a knife??!)?? Well you could buy one or just let us test it for you! Here's our Moto G scratch test…The Moto G is being dubbed as one of the best low cost ...
Quad-core processor, good screen, decent battery life, average camera, seriously cheap
16GB max storage, no micro SD card slot, no 4G
The Motorola Moto G is great value for money. Powered by a Snapdragon 400 processor and featuring an above-average screen, it offers performance normally seen on phones close to twice its price. This makes the Moto G an ideal choice for any business looki...
We are very impressed with the Moto G. The bottom line is, nearly all the faults we have with it are excusable when you hold it up against the rest of the similarly priced competition.Quite simply it represents stellar value. We think Motorola's no fuss a...
Sharp HD screen; The latest Android; Impressive performance; Changeable covers
Limited onboard storage; No NFC or 4G; Unusual camera focus
The Motorola Moto G’s 720p screen is a brilliant way to take in HD video or browse the web, and the quad-core processor effortlessly copes with the latest Android and all of your apps. Despite its processing pause and unusual focus method, the five-megapi...
